When seen from far
They say, things appear more
beautiful than they actually are.
If enjoyed by heart, when found
and observed by eyes which ain't
eying anything else afar
You will find them blissful
and more beautiful than they actually are!!

Excusively of Me
They say how terrible
the day of your death would be
People will keep on talking and
you won't be able to argue back ?
I am happy that at least people
will talk exclusively of me.

Alone we
I asked the Big Banyan tree
standing tall at the end of the road
You know, you may be very great, I said
but you cannot stand against the mightier winds
You would one day be uprooted by the winds
Your dignity and majesty will all be gone!
May be one day, he said ,
I may be no more,
Nor will be there my rich branches ,
Nor will be there any flowers and birds
But all other trees, I do know for sure ,
Will be moaning with me ,
many would even fall with me ,
Birds would weep and pray long for me
I will be rooted out ; but by an Outsider !
I will finally sleep; but in perfect peace
with my loved ones around and sharing the plight!

Had you ?
All exhausted, perspiring heavily
with knees buckling down
I angrily asked the long dark road
Don't you think you are simply
Too long to be walked?
Too horrific to feel any safe,
Too lonely to be any enjoyable
Tell me now, aren't you ?
He just said -
You wouldn't have taken this path at all
Had I been even slightly otherwise,
O dear traveler, Had you ?
